    Doksa en verwerkliking van leeridentiteitspraktyke van hoerskoolleerders in 'n landelike werkersklasdorp
    (LitNet, 2015-12) Fillies, Henry; Fataar, Aslam
    Hierdie artikel fokus op die aanpassings wat werkersklasleerders maak om hul leerpraktyke te bou. Die kernfokus is op aspekte van hoe die werkersklasleerders hul leeridentiteite in ’n spesifieke landelike werkersklasdorpskonteks konstrueer. Die navorsingsmateriaal vir hierdie artikel spruit uit ’n uitgebreide navorsingstudie oor die gekose leerders se leerpraktyke in ’n landelike werkersklasdorp in die Wes-Kaap. Gefokuste semigestruktureerde onderhoude was die belangrikste data-insamelingsinstrument vir die studie. Die artikel is gegrond op die stories van die leerders oor hul eie lewens. Ons bied insig in wat dit verg om ’n leerder in ’n landelike werkersklasdorp te wees. Die artikel bied veral begrip van hul produktiewe leeridentiteitspraktyke te midde van diepgewortelde armoede. Pierre Bourdieu se konsep doksa (“doxa”) dien as teoretiese lens vir die ontleding van hierdie praktyke. Wat ons aanvoer, is dat hul landelike geleefde konteks sentraal is tot die aard van hul leerpraktykvorming, meer spesifiek die manier waarop hulle hul doksa genereer en gebruik om dit aan die vorming van hul leerpraktyke te koppel.

    Hoe gee studente by 'n werkersklasskool in 'n werkersklaswoonbuurt gestalte aan hul opvoedkundige aspirasies? 'n Gevallestudie van vyf graad 11-studente
    (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2011-12) Fillies, Henry; Fataar, Aslam; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Education. Dept. of Education Policy Studies.
    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The shaping of students. educational aspirations in their school and neighbourhood context is a complex process of confluence, and largely depends on their context-specific perceptions and conceptualisation. From a sociological perspective, this study focuses on how high-school students at a working-class school in a working-class neighbourhood shape their educational aspirations amidst their particular community dynamics. The study uses the analytical lens of space in order to investigate the underlying relationship between youth development and the youth.s educational aspirations in their neighbourhood context. It emphasises students. life experiences in two spaces, namely their residential space (the neighbourhood) and their institutional space (the school). This is an important focus in order to explore the dynamic relationship between students. spatial living dynamics and how they navigate within these to shape their educational aspirations. The study focuses on how the students experience the neighbourhood and school in relation to their educational aspirations, and how these aspects manifest in the shaping of their aspirations. Also key to the study is the students. prior socialisation processes with regard to their educational aspirations. The study.s primary point of departure is that there is a unique relationship between these students. living contexts and how they construct and position their educational aspirations within these contexts. The study belongs within the qualitative interpretative paradigm, as I attempt to describe and understand how these students consciously draw from practices and interactions in their living contexts to shape their educational aspirations. Qualitative research instruments, such as field notes, participatory and non-participatory observations as well as formal and informal interviews, were used to answer the research question and achieve the research objectives of the thesis. The findings are presented in narrative format according to relevant themes, and are also analysed on a narrative basis. The research shows how the students . based on their own resources, networks and interactions as well as their own agency . position themselves in relation to their educational aspirations in order to shape their aspirations. In this way, the study reveals how the participating students dualistically draw from the practices of both their living spaces . school as well as neighbourhood . in order to give content to their educational aspirations; how they navigate the shaping of their educational aspirations .in parallel., as it were, in line with both the aforementioned living contexts.

    Die konstruering van hoerskool leerders se leerpraktyke binne 'n werkersklaswoonbuurt

    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study focuses on the learning practice construction of selective poor learners in their rural workers class context. The construction of learners’ learning practices in their neighbourhood context is a complex process of confluence, and largely depends on their context-specific perceptions and conceptualisation. In the South African educational environment, learners’ academic achievement is generally seen as a barometer of the quality of education in schools. From a sociological perspective, this study focuses on how high-school learners in a working-class neighbourhood construct their learning practice amidst their particular community dynamics. The study uses the analytical lens of space in order to investigate the underlying relationship between youth development and the youths’ construction of their learning practices in their neighbourhood context. It emphasises learners’ life experiences in their residential space (the neighbourhood) in the construction of their learning practices. This is an important focus in order to explore the dynamic relationship between learners’ spatial living dynamics and how they navigate within their neighbourhood in order to construct their learning practices. The study focuses on how the students experience the neighbourhood in relation to their learning practices, and how these aspects manifest in the shaping of their learning practices. Also key to the study is the learners’ socialisation processes with regard to their learning practices. Qualitative research instruments, such as field notes, participatory and non-participatory observations as well as formal and informal interviews, were used to answer the research question and achieve the research objectives of the thesis. The findings are presented in narrative format according to relevant themes, and are also analysed on a narrative basis. The study’s primary point of departure is that there is a unique relationship between these learners’ living contexts and how they construct and position their learning practices within this context. I place this study within the qualitative interpretative paradigm, as I attempt to describe and understand how these learners [un]consciously draw from practices and interactions in their living context to shape their lerning practices. Qualitative research instruments, such as field notes, participatory and non-participatory observations as well as formal and informal interviews, were used to answer the research question and achieve the research objectives of the thesis. The findings are presented in narrative format according to relevant themes, and are also analysed on a narrative basis. The research shows how the students – based on their own resources, networks and interactions as well as their own agency – position themselves in relation to their learning practices in order to construct their learning practices. In this way, the study reveals how the participating learners draw from the practices out of their doxa and habituated dispositions to construct their emergent learning practices in their living spaces (neighbourhood) – in order to give content to their learning practices.

    Die leerpraktykvorming van hoërskoolleerders op 'n plattelandse werkersklasdorp
    (LitNet, 2016-05-17) Fataar, Aslam; Fillies, Henry
    Gegrond op etnografiese metodes bespreek hierdie artikel die leerpraktykvorming van plattelandse werkersklasleerders in en oor hul leerruimtes heen. Ons huldig die mening dat alhoewel die invloed van armoede op die opvoedkundige geleenthede van landelike leerders belangrik is, armoede nie die deurslaggewende faktor om is die verskille in die opvoedkundige geleenthede en uitkomste tussen stedelike en landelike leerders te verklaar nie. Die doel met hierdie artikel is om te toon hoe arm plattelandse werkersklasleerders hul woonbuurtomstandighede gebruik om hul leerpraktyke te bou. Wat ons dus bied, is ’n bespreking van hoe landelike werkersklasleerders betrokke raak by die vorming van hul leerpraktyke in hul verarmde woonbuurt. Ons belangrikste uitgangspunt is die siening dat daar ’n gaping tussen die ryk opvoedkundige verbintenisse van plattelandse werkersklasleerders, soos hierdie leerders, en hul leefwêreld buite die skool is. Die gevolg is dat die perspektief heers dat hierdie leerders dikwels ontkoppel is van hul opvoedkundige prosesse. Hierdie artikel bied dus ’n ontleding van die wyses, sowel as die “ruimtelike” en konseptuele grondslag, waarop hulle hul leerpraktyke bou. Ons voer aan dat arm plattelandse werkersklasleerders sterk refleksief met hul omstandighede omgaan tot die bou van hul leerpraktyke. Ons wend ons tot Bourdieu (1977, 1986, 2006) se sosiologiese konsepte van habitus, veld, praktyke en kapitaal as teoretiese lense om die aangeleenthede van hul leerpraktykvorming te verwoord. Sentraal tot ons bespreking is die invloed van hierdie leerders se habitusvorming, dit wil sê die rol wat hul optredes, interaksies en denke in verhouding tot hul leerpraktykvorming speel. Die gevolg is dat hulle strategieë implementeer en ontwikkel, en ook netwerke skep, om hul leerpraktyke in hul omstandighede te bou. Dit is hierdie aangeleenthede wat hulle in staat stel om op koers te bly met betrekking tot hul opvoedkundige prosesse.

    Die leerpraktykvorming van plattelandse werkersklasleerders gegrond op hulle fondse van kennis
    (LitNet, 2017) Fillies, Henry; Fataar, Aslam
    Hierdie artikel handel oor hoe vyf landelike werkersklasleerders hulle fondse van kennis (FvK) gebruik vir die vestiging van hulle leerpraktyke. Met fondse van kennis verwys ons na die noodsaaklike kulturele praktyke en die vorme van kennis en inligting wat huishoudings en gemeenskappe gebruik om te oorleef of om vooruitstrewend te bly (Moll 1992:21). Die vraag wat ons verken, is: Hoe gebruik die leerders hulle fondse van kennis in en oor hulle geleefde ruimtes vir die bou en vestiging van hulle leerpraktyke? Met antwoorde op hierdie vraag poog ons om insig en ’n verduideliking te bied rakende die multidimensionele aspekte betreffende werkersklaswoonbuurte se sosio-ekonomiese dinamiek en hoe dit leerders se leerprosesse beïnvloed. Ons probeer toon hoe vyf leerders, Cherry, Ruby, Musa, Sally en Tom (skuilname), deur hulle eie ondervindings, netwerke, wisselwerking en agentskap hulle fondse van kennis bekom ter ondersteuning van hulle leerpraktyke in hulle geleefde ruimtes. Die belangrikste argument wat ons aanvoer, is dat die konstruering van werkersklasleerders se leerpraktyke begryp moet word deur op verskeie en onderling verweefde sosioruimtelike samestellings sowel as verskeie diskursiewe praktyke wat dit beïnvloed, te konsentreer. Ons probeer dus illustreer hoe die geselekteerde leerders dit regkry om deur middel van diskursiewe praktyke, wat ook hulle fondse van kennis binne hulle geleefde ruimtes behels, hulle leerpraktyke te vestig.
